ENGINE DETAIL

The Gibson D tractor is powered by a Wisconsin AEH engine, delivering 6 hp (4.5 kW) at 2000 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small scale operations. Its compact displacement of 23 ci (0.4 L) and air-cooled, single-cylinder design offer ease of maintenance but may limit performance in heavy-duty applications. The oil bath air cleaner enhances filtration under dusty conditions, yet may require more frequent servicing compared to dry-type filters.

GIBSON D ENGINE

The Gibson D tractor features a Wisconsin 0.4L single-cylinder gasoline engine, providing adequate power for light farming tasks and yard work. Its compact size and simplicity offer advantages in maneuverability and maintenance; however, the limited displacement may result in performance challenges under heavy loads. An ideal scenario for this tractor would be small-scale vegetable farming or landscaping jobs where high torque and horsepower are not critical.

TRANSMISSION

The Gibson D tractor features an unsynchronized transmission with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear, which may pose a challenge during gear shifts, especially under load. The advantage of this setup provides simplicity and reliability, suitable for basic farming tasks. However, operators must be adept at managing gear changes to prevent potential damage from improper shifting.

Gears 3 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Gibson D tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for light to moderate tasks but may struggle in slippery conditions. The manual tiller steering allows for responsive maneuverability in tight spaces, though it requires more physical effort compared to power steering systems. Its 3-speed unsynchronized transmission offers simplicity and ease of maintenance but may lead to challenges in shifting under load, making it less suited for heavy-duty work.

GIBSON D TIRES

The Gibson D tractor features AG front tires sized 4.00x12, which provide excellent traction and stability on various terrains, making it suitable for agricultural applications. However, the relatively small tire size may limit performance in rough or muddy conditions, potentially impacting maneuverability. It's ideal for light-duty farming tasks, but additional consideration should be given to tire upgrades for more challenging environments.
